FIT. Macleod, Alberta, who have been
spending a few days with his father,
Daniel Davis, of Chester, started
Tuesday, the 10th, on their return to
Ottawa, where he is attending parlia-
ment. He lisa native of Londonderry
and the following, clipped from the
Choteau Calumet, will be read with
interest by his friends in this town:
ID. W. Davis, who was recently elected
a member of the Canadian parliament,
was received with the greatest enthusiasm
at Lethbridge, Macleod and Calgary, on
visiting those places after his election.
The advancement of Mr.. Davis is as re-
to Montana as a private soldier in the
18th Infantry, was made commisary SER
geant at Fort Shaw and discharged from
the army in 1869. For three years there
after he was employed by Healy Ham
ilton at their Whoop Up trading post,
and later by l. G. Baker 4 Co. at Fort
Macleod. In course of time he was adj
mitted to a partnership in the latter firm
and became general manager of their sew
eral Northwest stores and depots. The
honorable position to which Mr.. Davis
was recently elected by hands ONE ma
;nr;tv ,r.S unSnu,rht and lurinu tba cop
vas he made so little effort in his own be-
half that his best friends doubted his abil-
ity to make a speech or successfully So
licit votes. His personal popularity, how
ever, which is said to be greater than any
other resident of the Territory, carried
him through, and at the late reception and
banquet accorded him at Lethbridge he
astonished every one with one of the
most brilliant oratorical efforts that had
ever been heard in that town. Mr.. Davis
married an cstimable lady of high social
position, who is said to be in every way
worthy of her talented husband.

Boston for some five or six years and

ing grocery business in connection
with West Roxbury market, and
has gained reputation for business
tact and probity that insures sue
cessful business life. Zeno, a young
er brother, about the same time or
soon after was employed by Chase of
Mechanicsville, manufacturer of
children's wagons and other small
wooden wares, as clerk. Since he
entered this mandatory its business
has steadily increased and has now
become immense. Mr.. Babbitt, en-

see him occupying his old position in
the band.
